It's raining... So we go shopping!!!! The weather turned yesterday. Started off quite warm and muggy but cloudy. We went for a bike ride and luckily got back just before the first downpour. The sky had turned black and the wind was really gusty. Then it poured down for about half an hour. We were planning on going into Nathon to watch the first final - Geelong v Hawthorn at Murphy's. Luckily for us we had a break in the rain just at the right time to get there, ...

Riding and walking in the countryside.. The past couple of days have been just beautiful... Blue skies and sunshine! We have walked a lot and rode the bikes again down different little roads in the villages. Lovely to see the real Thai life. We have also spent a lot of time just swimming and reading again. Perfect weather for it. The sunsets the past few nights have been wonderful again. We have been eating mainly Thai food again, although a couple of nights a...

Our New Beach Friend!! A couple of days ago while we were walking along the beach this friendly little dog suddenly joined us!

Walking and riding around the villages... We have spent the past couple of days riding and walking around the villages. Yesterday we rode for quite a few kilometres down to Taling Ngam and back.

Up here is not as good as it is very shallow at times and depending on the wind so...

Lazy days in the Sun!!!! Spent the past two days just chilling out by the beach. Went back to Neptunes in Nathon for dinner last night and had pasta and pizza. Delicious but paid for it by the morning!! Not sure I should do that again! Went for a walk to the end of the beach this afternoon.. Quite a walk!! Weather has become quite calm again after a few stormy afternoons. Came back and spent the rest of the day at the pool.
